That is so true. Let's hope and pray that he doesn't get killed but it would be hard to see him lasting too long if he is out there fighting.

Ron@ if he was intelligent he would not have provoked Russia. The USA lead him up the Garden Path and then dumping him.

I had heard he was a comedian yes. Certainly nothing is funny about this situation over there now. I hear he is being hunted by Russian special agents. Poor guy if something happens to him, the people might lose their will to fight.

I didn't hear or read the statement but that's a very powerful statement and this shows he is an ordinary person who has emotions more than the lust for power like other politicians have. We are hearing lot more things which makes me give him more respect.

@JudyEv I agree, Putin has not yet used nuclear weapons, but he will if he cannot obtain what he wants. Putin does not care about the "opinion of the world", I imagine he is ready also to destroy NATO bases in Europe should they become a problem.

You must be aware that his name features in the Pandora papers with 35 world leaders secret money laundering and bank accounts have been published, Zelenskyy and his aides are mentioned for money laundering and owning expensive property in London. It is lucky that war has commenced otherwise he has to be investigated for these illegal financial activities. A coin has two sides.

There are a very few Russians who have all the wealth while the rest of the country stagnates with very few services. In Russia, there are those with a great deal of weath, all stashed away in other countries, while the rest of the people struggle.
